Junior Guinea Pig
my younger piggies won't stop biting on the cnc bars of his cage. it's driving me crazy! chat do I do?
I currently have them completely separated. They were trying to fight each other through the bars. They have plenty enrichment (I hope) and lots of hay.
Alright I understand, I'll make sure to fix this in the morning!
they were starting to work themselves up by biting at the bars, rumbling, running around like they were mad, and stuff like thatYou say they were trying to fight each other through the bars - what were they actually doing?
It is very normal to see dominance behaviours between the bars in separated piggies. This is due to them marking their own territories.

thank you for the insiteI have two separated boars. Before they fell out, neither bit the bars, but now the more dominant one bites the dividing bars constantly to get the other piggy's attention, as well as patrolling the divider rumble strutting. It's normal and I don't think you can do anything about it
